Square Enix has released the minimum and recommended specifications for Crystal Dynamics’ Avengers game, which hits Steam on September 4. There’s nothing particularly surprising here, aside from the implication that it’s best played on an SSD (traditionally, it’s open-world games that see big benefits from solid state storage, so we’re not sure if Avengers will load all that differently on a standard HDD).
What’s more exciting is the optional 30 GB high-resolution texture pack that’s mentioned, which should improve the graphics substantially. “Forests will feel lusher, the tundra more frigid, and AIM facilities all the more sinister to really bring the experience to life,” wrote Square Enix. “Additionally, there will be support for ultra-wide resolutions as well as multi-monitor configurations so Marvel’s Avengers will look good no matter your set up.”
Marvel's Avengers on PC will come with features that take advantage of its capabilities. PC players, we can't wait to see you in the BETA!
